DeKALB | Four male teenagers are facing charges stemming from an alleged hazing incident at Grant Towers Residence Hall.

Shortly before dinner on the night of July 8, two 14-year-old boys were attacked outside a laundry room during a summer wrestling camp.

The first boy had his hands bound by a belt and athletic cream rubbed on his chest. The second boy was held down and the cream was rubbed on his chest and genitals.

“The incident occurred during a very brief period of time when there were no counselors in the vicinity,” said Melanie Magara from NIU Public Affairs.

The boys were able to get away and inform a counselor. Campus police were called and the perpetrators were immediately expelled from the camp. Their parents were called and they were escorted off campus by the police.

Seth Hirsh, Nickolas Kim, and Matthew Rafacz, all 17, are charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery. Along with them, the 14-year-old boy was charged with two counts of misdemeanor battery and two counts of unlawful restraint.
